It wasn't My quandry, it was yours. - see your post #60.

In answer to your other question, about light. I guess you didn't notice but that was the second thing he created after the waters. In fact, it is Genesis, Chapt. 3. Just in case you don't have the same Bible I have, I'll be a pal and give it to you according to the King James Version of which I prescribe:

Genesis

Chapter 1

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

2) And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep.

3) And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

Skip to chapter 5 and God has created Day and Night and it goes on to say that:

And god called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night and the evening and the morning were the first day.

Please take note, The First Day. So now what were you saying about the plants not being able to live without sunlight?

You wrote "So now what were you saying about the plants not being able to live without sunlight?" The light he created the first day was not sunlight. He did not create the sun, moon and the stars until the fourth day(verse 14). He had created the plants and trees on the third day(verse 11)and I believe that he instituted the process of photosynthesis by creating sunlight the very next day. Plants cannot live without it. I also believe there was a great gulf of time between verse 1 and verse 2....perhaps billions of years.(see post #100. I also believe that if you would like to believe that this process took thousands or millions of years that is fine with me. I do not think this argument is vital to our salvation. Peace.
